I see. Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm still finalizing my ideas (mostly considering whether that orange walker fits more as an Einar SoulBorg or an extension of the Vulcanmech Incendiborg theme), but I'll try to finish them up before the supply is completely diminished.

I have all the figures in this set, so this isn't a personal issue, but rather just a reminder of when I was getting into HS a few years back and struggled to pick up some of the older C3V/SoV figures. Imagine if there was an unused figure in the Ram box. I think many of us would argue against using it, despite many here probably having it.

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like the pack is still available.

I understand where you're coming from. As someone who only came back to the site this past year, there are plenty of Ram Army Boxes out there that I desperately wish I had. Still, I was wondering if something clearly usable like the orange walker mecha from that set would be acceptable, since it would further justify the purchase as prices rise.

Although unfortunate, I think that it would at least improve availability concerns to know that many users could already have the model, so if the set isn't as rare as the Ram Box or the Blood of Gruumsh, then it might be fine.

When we announced the box, I think we said we would use at least 3 figures from the box, or something to that effect. To date, we've used J15 and DCM3, and Deltacron is in PP. On top of that, we have the Executioner through the SoV. So we've fulfilled our commitment.

The orange one and the white/purple/green one are still unused, and open to the public's use, for SoV or otherwise.

Excellent question! That's exactly the kind of thing this thread is for.

Here are a couple of recent posts on the subject, including a link to a story set there:

I admittedly don't know much about Arctorus or post-humans, but I'm not sure why they would hail from that planet.

That said, the race doesn't bother me much anyway (if it's really a problem, just update it to be some failed experiment or a new race on Marr or the like), and the design looks very different from what I generally see suggested. There are some minor problems that I could see with just outright adding skulls to a roll (mostly how it works with powers like Maul), but I'm sure that all of that can be ironed out. Good job, Lazy Orang!

Arctorus was intended to be a blend of Cthonic horror, vast marshy wilderness, and steampunk class structure, with isolated urban pockets of wealth and, importantly, a Star Wars cantina-like blend of oddities. Dagobah, but with a few wealthy Mos Eisleys, and horror instead of Yoda in the swamps. With some steampunk, and without the traditional tropes of fantasy (elves, orcs, etc.).

I hope the SoV judges will not mind too much if I respond.

We struggled to make Arctorus a fully-formed world, because the Heroscape canon only had so many worlds and we didn't want to add to that fixed number lightly, or frequently. So we probably have a more complete vision of Arctorus than there ever was of, for instance, Grut.

For a window into life on Arctorus, I turn your attention to this story. That story, of course, is set in a marshy wilderness; an urban and wealthy Mos Eisley would be a very different setting.

I don't know of a Definitive List for double-spaced C3V heroes, but there's generally a clarification in the official book for large and huge figures for whether they're single or double-spaced. In Deathcommander Mark 3's book, for example, it lists it under the Rulings and Clarifications.
